Highly engaged employees, however, resign less frequently than disengaged employees. In your mind, when is an employee’s engagement level at the highest?

This is the act of conceptualizing and implementing a communications strategy targeted towards your own employees. This often does not receive the same attention and focus that external communications receives.   But why is this the case?   [Read More](https://blog.6i-communication.com/9-things-you-could-do-better-when-communicating-with-your-mobile-workers) Topics: [Internal Communications](https://blog.6i-communication.com/tag/internal-communications), [Best Practice](https://blog.6i-communication.com/tag/best-practice), [Operational Efficiency](https://blog.6i-communication.com/tag/operational-efficiency) ## [Tomorrow isn't waiting - Trends in 2022](https://blog.6i-communication.com/tomorrow-isnt-waiting-trends-in-2022) Posted by [Andy G.

When Beekeeper first set out seven years ago, we were determined to digitalize traditional top-down communication channels. We wanted to make information easily accessible to everyone, regardless of their location.
